About me

I'm Brazilian. I was born in Jaboticabal - Sao Paulo, Brazil. I speak Portuguese and English (not fluent). I started working with Linux since 2002 and passed along several distros until I adopted Ubuntu as my official Linux distribution. I am an Ubuntu user since its 5.04 version and once I installed and configured the 6.04 Server to be a firewall machine at my employer office.

Nowadays I am an enthusiastic evangelist of Ubuntu, trying to aggregate as much loyal users I can.
